Hi Amanda,

I'm suffering the same as you with a really bad cold and my heart is beating soooo fast too (or i feel it is!) I have asked my partner who is a Medic to take my pulse at various times and he assures me that's normal and my symptoms are anxiety. I'm also feeling breathless and i think that's due to my nose being totally bunged up! I'm trying Olbas Oil now.
Hope you feel better soon
And i hope i do too.

Love
Pink

Hi Amanda,I think its your cold thats making you feel so anxious.Being all bunged up makes you anxious,and so your heart is racing sweety.Try not to keep feeling your pulse and getting more anxious it will then get faster and you will worry more.

hey amanda, just the blocked nose, but the more you worrie the worse it will feel, you can get those little strips that go across your nose for when its blocked, they do actually work a little so they might help
